Yesterday Sket, Chris & I went down to the beach at Mornington. Beautiful day for it, and it was great. The somewhat amusing part was when we arrived and first parked. I went to put the club lock on the steering wheel, and did in fact put it half on… when I remembered that the… Read more
I finally found [again] information on the awesome new camera being prototyped at Stanford.
